Annie nodded. She seemed lost in thought for a moment. “Are you up for some more?” A mischievous grin appeared on her face.

“What do you mean?”

“I want you to be satisfied, babe.” Her grin changed into a soft smile.

“Okay.” Jane had two choices. Go with Annie’s flow or retreat into self-pity, which wouldn’t help her forward at all. “You have permission to do whatever it is you’re going to do next.” She kissed Annie on the cheek and let her lips linger.

Annie nodded solemnly, the skin of her cheek grazing Jane’s mouth. She twisted her torso away and rummaged inside the night-stand’s drawer again. When she returned, her hand held a vibrator, attached to a power cord, which Jane had never seen before.

“Where did you get that?” Jane’s eyes grew wide.

“Where we get most things these days.” Another grin. “Online. Discreet delivery to the shop.” She pushed a button at the base of the toy and it emitted a whirring sound. “No more disposable batteries. This baby has some power.” She held it briefly against Jane’s side. “I’m pretty sure it will leave you feeling amazing instead of merely okay.” She held it in front of Jane’s face. “The only question is are you wielding it or am I?”

The sight of the cream-colored device strangely aroused Jane. “It might be best if I handle it myself.” She offered her hand.

Annie put it in her palm and the vibration shook Jane. Christ. She couldn’t wait to try it out.

“Do you want me to fuck you while you use it?” Annie’s voice had descended an octave.

Jane drew her bottom lip between her teeth and nodded. She spread her legs wide and brought the vibrator between her upper thighs. Annie glued her body to Jane’s side and brought her fingers back into play, circling Jane’s pussy, waiting.

Jane took a deep breath and let the buzzing tip of the vibrator touch down against her clit. She had to remove it immediately because the sheer force of it overwhelmed her. Her clit was still sensitive from the sort-of-missed climax she’d had earlier, but it had sprung to attention as soon as Jane had brought the vibrator near.

“Take your time,” Annie whispered in her ear. “Enjoy it. Explore.”

It wasn’t Annie’s habit to talk to her like that and the introduction of Annie’s words added another dimension to Jane’s arousal.

She lowered the vibrator again and let it hum against her clit, finding the spot where it had the most impact—where it felt best. Any previous vibrator they had ever owned had always been a disappointment of feeble vibrating quality, empty batteries when you needed it most, and just sheer inadequacy at getting Jane off. This new toy, however, felt very much up to the task.
